Can anyone tell me how much paid leave you are entitled to when a Grandparent dies? I cannot find infromation anywhere. I though a grandparent was classed as a close family member and therefore entitles you to 3 days but I cannot find confirmation of this.
 
Hi Bue,

Im moving this to Jobs/Careers (from Social Welfare) where this question has been raised before.

Try having a look at the keypost section in the sticky at the top of the J/C forum. Look for compassionate leave1.
and compassionate leave2.
I dont think that force majeure is designed to be used in a case like this.

Is this not specifically mentioned as part of your employment contract, or your employee handbook?

Where I'm working it's 3 days for direct family members, and 1 day for extended family.
 
I recieved 2 day's when my grandmother dieD yet my parner got 3 day's for her death.....???????
 
Presumably this was at the employer's discretion and, as such, hardly surprising that different employers treat it differently.
